Abstract
Disclosed is a system for separating liquid and solid waste. The system provides a plurality of ways of moving liquids from initial disposal to a reservoir. The system may comprise an insert and a shell, or may include a funnel, insert and shell. The funnel allows for direct collection of liquids. The insert allows for indirect collection of liquids.
Claims20
A method of forming a system for separation of solid and liquid waste, comprising:
- forming a shell comprising a cylindrical wall, an open end, and closed end;
- placing an insert removably and at least partially within the shell, the insert comprising:
- a body;
- a first open end on one end of the insert;
- a liquid pathway extending from the first open end of the insert to an opposite, partially closed end of the insert;
- and
- a flange extending at least partially around a perimeter of the open end, at least a portion of the flange having an outer diameter greater than an outer diameter of the shell;
- and
- forming a funnel comprising at least one drain opening which directs fluids in to the liquid pathway;
- wherein the partially closed end of the insert comprises a portion permeable to liquid to which a flow of liquid is directed by a remainder of the partially closed end and the cylindrical wall.

A system for separation of solid and liquid waste, the system comprising:
- a shell comprising a body, an open end, and closed end;
- an insert removably placed at least partially within the shell, the insert comprising a body, an open end, a longitudinal groove extending between the open end of the insert and an opposite, partially closed end of the insert, and a flange extending at least partially around a perimeter of the open end, at least a portion of the flange having an outer diameter greater than an outer diameter of the shell;
- and
- a funnel comprising a bottom portion, the bottom portion comprising a drain opening, the drain opening directing fluids in to the longitudinal groove.

A system for separation of solid and liquid waste, comprising:
- a shell comprising a body, an open end, and closed end;
- an insert removably placed at least partially within the shell, the insert comprising a body, an open end, a longitudinal groove extending from the open end of the insert to an opposite, partially open end of the insert, and a flange extending at least partially around a perimeter of the open end, at least part of the flange having an outer diameter greater than an outer diameter of the shell;
- and a convex bottom portion, a portion permeable to liquid comprising at least one opening around the perimeter of the convex bottom portion, the at least one opening directing fluids in to a liquid capture reservoir;
- and
- a funnel comprising a drain opening directing fluids in to the liquid capture reservoir.
